From the Sage Of QuantebacOOk.

To TIE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: BY reading
the Progressive Age-last weeks issuc-L find that
my friend Rust has not made even the most distant
allusion to my former letter. This is very depress
ing. still, admire his discretion, whatever may
think of his courage. His is of those sad
cases which will serve to point moral, although
i. can hardly be said that he will answer to adorr
a tale. This does not of necessity imply that tail
would not adorn my friend Rust. l regret tn,
| necessity which compelled me to give him wallop
ing, and sincerely trust that circumstances will
| not demand repetition This does not lessen my
regard FOR him in the least. "Whom the Lord
lovcth he chastcncth.' Now we shall expect to sec
the Progressive Age treating the soldiers and tn,
knights of Labor with more kindly regard. Should
he at any time suffer relapse | will take hin

Your record on the soldier question is as clear as
heaven. There is no chance for me to pick NUS
with you there. On the labor movement youl
position is little more dubious. Once or twice
you have approached dangerously near the death
line. Let US hope that this merely frolicsomt

The journal extends to the ProhbtionI>t>
the same 'ourte>y ii extended to the Green
hackers Of Waldo county. that of publishing
their caucus notices, etc. and also gives place to
the communication of Prof. GoWcn. although
we believe his zeal in the temperance cause Is
TO a certain extent INSTRUCTED. There is no
doubt to our mind that IN the future, as in the
past. the Republican party will include in its
membership the practical temperance men,
and that the third party movements. however
laudable their aim, will simply result i'll Civ
ing aid and comfort to the party whose alliance
with the rum power is daily made manifest.
The comments of the Prof. Age on the ad0p-
ton of standard time in this city indicates L.
norance of The fact that this is now the legal
time in Maine. and applies TO all State. county
and city offices. OF course individuals may
continue to set their watches and clocks 10y
whatever time they choose. but this will sim
ply add to confusion that might be ohNiatcd by
all conforming to the legal time. The state

The Interstate Commerce Law.

All that is heard concerning the operation
of the Interstate commerce law is in the nl-
ture of complaints. The idea is gaining ground
that the railroads are not simply obeyng the
law. but are going beyond it as though 10y
making it odious TO ensure its repeal. The COM
mssioners have declined in several instances
to interpret the law; but say they are ready TO
hear complaints of violations OF the act and
then to decide whether the law has been yio-
lated. while the main purpose of the commits
sion is to see that the law is obeycd and en-
forced. The difficulty is that even the best
lawyers in the country are compelled 10 admit
that the Interstate act is one which they are
not able to interpret. and opinions concerning
it are widely at variance. The constitutional
ity Of some of the sections is doubted while
parts of the statute, it is suggested, should be
held void for va@uenes>.
The first act of the commission was to sIl>-
pend the fourth section of the law on the re-
quest of 4 southern transportation line. Last
saturday it made an order >uspending the
fourth section for - days. subject to revoca-
ton, and with provi>o that intermediate
rates shall not be raised above those in force
April 90. This applies TO Northern Pacific,
southern Pacific. Atkinson, Topeka Il Santa
Fe and st. Louis n san Francisco. If the
railroads Were not bent either on rUbDing the
public under the color of the law by cX Drh-
tant rates. or OF making the law obnoxious. no
doubt it could be made reasonably effective
and possibly productive of good in the end.
From present appearances. however. ii Is de>-
tined 10 cause A serious disturbance To the
business and industrial interests Of the cou-
try. Where there are water line communiea-
tons the people generally are using them, and
steamer and packet lines will be benefited.
The result here has been practically Il total
suspension of shipment, by rail. At other
points the old rates are said to have been re-
81 ed. as between Portland and Lewiston, and
Au-flsta and Boston and intermediate points.

storm. Deer Creek was up to high water mark
The lightning was vivid and the thunder roared,

houses. The rain fell in torrents and In great
many places corn was blown to the ground. A
great quantity of oats is still lying in swath,

change his opinion the whole congregation did,

At IL o'clock the children were marched to the
table, which was loaded down with all kinds OF
refreshments and IL any persons were too back

admirably on the organ. The New Freedom

Is Your Name SIIorfYY

We are sorry that the feelings of our
friend "Vox Rstionis," the correspondent of
the Democrat, were SO deeply touched by the
mere allusion of Tile 1Fgis to the corrupt
methods practiced to secure votes at the re-
cent Democratic primaries. While news
paper controversy with an anonymous cor
respondent who avoids argument and ignores
facts but INDUCES in personalities, is not to
our taste, since it is as when one bea,eth
the air, nevertheless we may venture TO
remark that the position in which Vox Ra-
tionis has placed himself reminds US, in the
language of the late lamented President Lin
coin, of the following current story:
"Hello, Shorty" said gamin. looking at
man of about five feet two in front of the
City Hall yesterday. "Dont call me Shorty,
you little cuss," answered the man of low
stature; eff you do I'll warm your jacket"
"Ain't yer name Shorty ?" replied the kid.
